the one i was looking at specifically was ~thea: the awakening~, which was listed as 4x and roguelike. i had a bunch of games in my explore queue with those tags, but most looked like garbage.

When the sale went up the servers were tripping and trying to go to someones wishlist would redirect you to their steam page with no wishlist link present. Its all good

So far I'm getting Dawn of Discovery for five bucks, which is a really cool looking game that I had no idea existed until like yesterday when I saw it on net cafe scandal's wishlist posted in this thread. I might get Total Extreme Wrestling, too, it's $6.79.

Dawn of Discovery is an Anno game under a different name I believe, so theres lots more where that came from.

I don't like how I can't like, configure the discovery queue to only show me poo poo I would ever consider playing. Like filter out early access games and MMOs and strategy games with Mixed or worse reviews. You know.

Who here likes car games and can recommend me a fun modern arcadey one, if such a thing exists. Like what game available on steam is carrying on the Burnout torch.

I really like GRID and GRID Autosport but they're not like, super arcadey

They handle like driveclub if you've played that

Oh poo poo that's cool. I really liked Anno 2070 and I have Anno 1503 and 1701 through gog but haven't downloaded them yet... Historical city builders are extremely my poo poo.

And yeah I looked up the series to make sure I got the years right and apparently Dawn of Discovery is called Anno 1404 everywhere but North America. Weird.

That only works for that game, though, it doesn't affect how likely it is to recommend other games like it.

I wish there was a way to tell it that you like a game that you own on outside of Steam. Like a "recommend me more like this" button that doesn't involve adding it to your wish list.

Holy crap, the number of games on sale went from 149 to 10020 while I was at work. :staredog: Remember when people like spambot were trying to own every game on Steam. This is insane.
